TRO Testeur dégoûtant Jul 2014 10:40am, 17 Jul 2014 9,015 posts	0 TRO Testeur dégoûtant Morning Wriggers, morning everyone. Ballance - what a knob! Bad feeling about this test. Win toss, bat, 5 back in the hutch by lunchtime - I have no trust or confidence in the team, and any pitch that has zip and bounce in it will only lead to us getting bowled out cheaply. We are gash.

Wriggling Snake Jul 2014 11:36am, 17 Jul 2014 7,219 posts	0 Wriggling Snake I reckon we'll have to get through them early otherwise it'll just dry up, need at least 3, and they dropped a catch. The team is very new in places, look at the batting, they can go right through us. The bigger problem is bowling, Anderson/Broad, the replacements need to be coming along soon. Plunkett too, a very short shelf life for him.
TRO Testeur dégoûtant Jul 2014 1:21pm, 17 Jul 2014 9,017 posts	0 TRO Testeur dégoûtant Not good Wrigglers, not good. Just caught the last 20 mins of TMS before lunch and for once Aggers seemed as angry as Boycs. Bowling too short, too wide - Cook standing soporifically at slip rather than having a word, defensive fields starting already, pitch drying up, teflon gloves behind the stumps. In summary we have arsed it up! Was thinking this time a year ago we all though we had a pretty decent cricket team. Home Ashes series was just starting up, Aussies were a laughing stock.

Badger Jul 2014 3:32pm, 17 Jul 2014 4,339 posts	0 Badger They're 128-6. Two great options for the pessimists: they'll still go on to score nearly 500, or we'll get them out for 262 and still end up following on.
TRO Testeur dégoûtant Jul 2014 4:44pm, 17 Jul 2014 9,020 posts	0 TRO Testeur dégoûtant I predict a double century for Nos 10 and 11 and then Cook being out hit wicket before the first delivery...;-)
Endorphins Junky Jul 2014 12:00pm, 18 Jul 2014 4,076 posts	0 Endorphins Junky And Cook's form continues to nose dive - surely he can't carry on for too much longer..........
